COOPERATIVE STUDY OF CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY

癌症患者将接受第三阶段方案的治疗 西南肿瘤学研究组的跨学科研究 利用手术、放射治疗、化疗(包括 不同的时间表和药物组合，包括两者 研究药物和已被证实并被接受的药物， 单独或结合放射治疗；这些形式的 治疗将是目前最有效的药物 通过小组研究确定的组合)和免疫疗法。 对上述治疗无效的患者将被 使用新的实验试剂进行管理，这些试剂已经 仔细评估了剂量和毒性，这表明 提示在特定恶性肿瘤中有抗肿瘤作用的证据。 这些将代表关于 西南肿瘤学小组。 使用患者材料的辅助研究正在进行评估 上述协议将与以下研究活动协调 病理学、免疫学、 通过独立的生物化学、药理学和解剖学 给予支持。具体地说，新墨西哥大学的流量 LAB将作为转介机构之一发挥作用 西南肿瘤组的流式细胞术。UNM还将 继续对各种类型的细胞进行表面标记分析 西南肿瘤学小组白血病方案。

Patients who have cancer will be treated with Phase III protocols of the Southwest Oncology Group in an interdisciplinary approach utilizing surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy (which includes variable schedules and combinations of drugs, including both investigational agents and already proven and accepted drugs, either alone or in combination with radiotherapy; these forms of therapy would represent the current most effective drug combinations identified by group studies), and immunotherapy. Patients who are unresponsive to the above therapy will be managed with new experimental agents, which have been carefully evaluated for dosage and toxicity, and which show suggestive evidence of anti-tumor effect in specific malignancies. These will represent the Phase II protocol studies of the Southwest Oncology Group. Ancillary studies utilizing patient material being evaluated in the above protocols will be coordinated with research activities of other departments in the areas of pathology, immunology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and anatomy through independent grant support. Specifically, the University of New Mexico flow lab will function as one of the referral institutions performing flow cytometry for the Southwest Oncology Group. UNM will also continue to perform cell surface marker analyses on various Southwest Oncology Group leukemia protocols.
